Okay, I like to travel to work in casual clothes. And when I get to my work area (cube), I change. Right in my cube. The cube is enclosed except for a door-sized gap. And I hear most people coming from a mile away. Yes, I could do it in the conference room nearby, or in the bathroom, but why bother? I usually get to work earlier than most, anyway, so there’s no reason.
Today, I had to come in to work a little late. But I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal – it should be a simple thing to change before anyone happens by. So I drop trou. Then I hear someone approaching. And that someone is very close. So I plop down in the chair, pick up the phone and speed dial the automated Help Desk. So I’m facing away from this individual (who walks leaving almost no sound, like a deer in the forest) with a look of intense concentration and slight agitation on my face, as though I’m involved in a very important conference call or something. And I think (hope) my pants-less state is pretty much obscured by my desk and chair. I hear the footsteps pause. I hear lips part as though to speak. Then the office ninja is gone, leaving no noise as she (smelled like a chick – I hope it was a “she”) passes.
So, moral of the story………………….okay, I’ve learned nothing. I’ll do it again.
